LG announced an upgrade to its OLED TV technology, which the company claims will make its first-class TVs known as OLED.EX better.

OLED technology is the foundation of some of the best TVs on the market, but it is still darker than some similar products-but by using a new material in the production of OLED itself, LG claims that it can increase brightness by 30%.

This involves the use of deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen in the atomic structure but contains an extra neutron particle (hence the nickname “heavy water” when the water is rich in deuterium rather than the more common tritium hydrogen). This compound replaces the more common hydrogen used in the manufacture of OLED TVs, thereby increasing brightness.

LG has also added new algorithms to stabilize the OLED pixels used in its TVs, allowing the company’s TVs to predict and accurately trigger multi-megapixel lighting patterns. With this new technology, the dark and bright areas of the scene will be more obvious.

This additional technology will also enhance LG’s design capabilities, which means that the bezel around the edge of a given display can be reduced to 4 mm. The current size (almost invisible 6 mm) is hardly overbearing, but this change brings LG’s OLED TVs closer to the “zero bezel” design goal, which looks the most attractive in the living room.

The new OLED.EX TV is likely to be demonstrated at the 2022 International Consumer Electronics Show, but the specific capacity is unclear. The technology will not be put into production until April 2022 at the earliest, so it can be used for the upcoming (but not yet announced) C2 OLED TVs that we expect to launch later this year.

At the time of writing, LG has not yet confirmed whether this delicate manufacturing process will increase the cost of its OLED equipment. TechRadar has contacted the brand for details.
